Are these really the people that should be required to work so much? Isn’t their job about handling life and death daily? Wouldn’t we want exactly these people to come fully rested to work every single day and be fully staffed?
I don’t know if there are jobs with similar stakes that are so carelessly staffed and disgustingly paid.
Because the alternative is the rich paying more in taxes, and we can’t have that obviously.
Not really.
Universal healthcare could be more than paid for just with what we pay in insurance.
It’s still money, but in this case it’s that profit healthcare is tied to employment causing employers across all industries to want less employees, which means a lot of overtime.
The real solution was shortening the work week to spread the labor around while keeping salaries high.
That seems very US specific. In Europe, we have universal healthcare, but it’s chronically underfunded.
sounds like a billionaire problem
It damn well is, no doubt about it.
always is. Universal healthcare is a reality. We just have a billionaire problem

I don’t understand why people aren’t voting for the uber-rich to pay their fair share. Billionaires pay less tax percentage-wise than any worker out there and it’s all because we focus so much on income tax. The uberrich don’t have income - the have wealth, which isn’t taxed.
Mods, jail.
the rich hospital admins, they skimp out on hiring more mds to rotate the burnouts.
